I want to thank the owners for allowing us and our pups to stay in their lovely beach house, we enjoyed every moment of it. First of all, I am a neat-freak and the most important thing to me is cleanliness - this place was sparking clean and perfect. I was very, very impressed. Secondly, the house was well-appointed with one of the best kitchen setups I've seen so far in a VRBO. As an athlete in training, I eat 99% of my meals at home/meal prep - and I didn't struggle for anything. (Usually I will have to improvise or buy things for the kitchen when I stay at properties) - this one had all the appliances, cutlery, etc. we needed and was wonderful. They even had containers to put leftovers in - I was thrilled! It made my life so easy.
The beds and bedding were comfortable, they even provided enough towels/toilet paper/cleaning supplies for our entire stay - something most VRBOs do not do. (Thank you!) The only thing I would've loved that the house didn't have was a gas grill outdoors for cooking - but, I also understand that is possibly a liability for them so I get why they may not want to provide one.
I loved the sweet neighborhood and the fast walk to the beach. I felt safe and did cardio outdoors every single day without ever worrying. The golf cart was an added bonus - we didn't use it as much as we thought we would, but it sure was fun when we did. Awesome for quick jaunts up to the beach!
The house was perfectly set up for pups - I was ever so grateful! Dog beds everywhere, furniture covers if needed, treats to greet the pups, plenty of dog bowls throughout and even cages to put the dogs in when we were away (we usually travel with kennels, so this was great!). The frenchies LOVED this house - their favorite part was sitting on the screened porch and watching the neighbors - which they did 95% of the time. They were in heaven and, again, it made our stay so easy and effortless.
The property manager must be commended for their excellent communication style and always getting back to us right away - it was much appreciated!
I have never traveled to the Florida panhandle before, but after our stay I will certainly stay at this home again - the owners literally made us feel at home and that was truly wonderful and appreciated. Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your home!
